KM Office: Kurti continues to carry out terror
On the occasion of the arrest of Serbs near Gnjilan, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced that "Aljbin Kurti continues to carry out terror against the Serbian people both north and south of the Ibar".
"It is clear that with the new arrests in Pasjan, the anti-Serb regime from Pristina wants to escalate the situation on the ground and make the life of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija unbearable, and Kosovo Pomoravlje, the area where the largest number of Serbs live, has once again come under attack." the Office states.
He points out that "the Pristina regime enters the pre-election campaign with baseless arrests and attacks on all Serbs, because it has nothing to offer except pathological hatred of Serbs, except pressure and persecution in all Serbian areas with a single goal, which includes the emigration of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija".
"The question arises as to how it is not clear to the international factor and the missions that there is no rule of law in the territory of Kosovo and Metohija, that Serbs are arrested according to Kurti's secret lists, according to which everyone who is a Serb is guilty, and that, accordingly, rigged trials are carried out under false charges with with the aim of the final ethnic cleansing of the Serbs".
